"Gamal Mubarak, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's son who is widely tipped as his successor, has fled to London with his family, Arabic website Akhbar al-Arab said on Tuesday."

Don't trust that Egyptian police are changing sides. It is way too early for that. Changing sides won't occur until the cowards are certain they (or their families) won't face repercussions. If the police were seen taking off their uniforms it could be a tactic used by security forces to deploy non-uniformed groups. They use such a tactic to mix with protesters and snatch or neutralize the most vocal ones (leaders). This freakin tactic is damn effective.
I fully agree that this protest needs more incitement.

a Lot of websites are bringing the Gamal Mubarak news, he seemed to have fled with his family. There was another rumour last weekend that Egypts gold has been transferred to the netherlands. I didn't do it!

yes, rate of Cairo tweets is slowing considerably - 20 in a couple of minutes as opposed to hundreds earlier! But I guess that is partly due to not being able to tweet via mobile from that area right now.

في 10 دقائق فقط، أنهت أجهزة الأمن في القاهرة اعتصام المتظاهرين في ميدان التحرير، بعد ساعات طويلة من بدايته صباح الثلاثاء، حيث حشدت قوات الأمن أعداد كبيرة من جنود الأمن المركزي وصل عددهم الى ما يزيد عن 10 ألاف مجند، وضابط، واستخدمت أجهزة الأمن العربات المصفحة، والمدرعات، والقنابل المسلية للدموع في تفريق المتظاهرين بشوارع وسط القاهرة، وطاردوهم حتى شارع ميريت الذي يقع فيه المتحف المصري.
استعدت قوات الأمن لفض الاعتصام باضاءة الكشافات المتواجدة أعلى السيارات المدرعة، كإنذار للمتظاهرين، ولفت انتباهم الى أن القوات سوف تبدأ في فض الاعتصام ومواجهة المحتجين، إلا أن المتظاهرين لم يستجيبوا لتلك التهديدات، وظلوا يرددون الشعارات المعادية للنظام والحكومة، فاندفعت القنابل المسيلة للدموع في سماء ميدان التحرير، لتقع وسط المتظاهرين الذين أصيب بعضهم باختناقات نتيجة كثافة الدخان، وعندما ظنت قوات الأمن أن المتظاهرين خضعوا لمطالبهم، كانت المفاجأة حيث رفض المتظاهرين الانصراف، وفض الاعتصام.
وجددت الأجهزة الأمنية مطالبها بفض الاعتصام، إلا انها لم تجد سوى أجساد المتظاهرين التي تلقت ضربات قوية وسقط على العشرات منهم القنابل المسيلة للدموع، والتي تسببت في إصابة العشرات، وحتى هذه اللحظات لم يسقط قتلى او ضحايا بين صفوف المحتجين.
واستخدمت قوات الأمن خراطيم المياه في فض الاعتصام إلى جانب القنابل المسيلة للدموع، إلا أن المتظاهرين لم يجدوا أمامهم سوى الحجارة التي قاموا بقذفها تجاه جنود الأمن المركزي الذي بادلوهم إلقاء الطوب والحجارة.
في الوقت نفسه اقتحمت السيارات المصفحة صفوف المتظاهرين، وكانت في طريقها إلى دهس أي شخص في طريقها ـ على حد قول شهود عيان ـ كما هاجم ما يزيد عن 10 الاف مجند المحتجين وقاموا بمطاردتهم في شوارع وسط القاهرة واغلقوا الشوارع الجانبية بميدان التحرير، فيما تركوا الطريق المؤدي الى المتحف المصري مفتوحا أمامهم، لتظل المطاردات مستمرة إلى ساعات متأخرة من صباح الأربعاء.
ولجأت قوات الأمن إلى خداع المتظاهرين، عندما نشرت بينهم أعداد كبيرة من الجنود السريين في زي مدني، وعندما بدأت قوات الأمن في إطلاق القنابل المسيلة للدموع، ونظر المتظاهرون إليها في السماء لمتابعة سقوطها ، فوجيء الجميع بالجنود السريين يعتدون بالضرب على المتظاهرين بعنف شديد.
وبدأت المطاردات بين قوات الأمن والمتظاهرين الذي نزل بعضهم إلى محطة مترو الأنفاق بالتحرير، فقامت قوات الأمن بالقاء القنابل المسيلة للدموع داخل محطة المترو، وامتلأت سماء ميدان التحرير بالدخان، ووقع عدد كبير من المصابين، وقال بعض المتظاهرين إنهم سيكملون اعتصامهم صباح الأربعاء الساعة الثانية ظهرا، وكل يوم، حتى يتم تحقيق مطالبهم.
على جانب أخر طاردت قوات الأمن المتظاهرين في ميدان أحمد حلمي ودفعتهم للهروب إلى منطقة السبتية، بعد أن فشلو في العودة إلى ميدان التحرير.

You know what I don't care if the crowds dispersed. The fact remains we are all witnessing change in the Middle East and corrupt and brutal Arab regimes will fall one by one. Tunisia was only the beginning. We gonna need a year's supply of popcorn by the looks of things.
Power to the people.

WASHINGTON, Jan 25 (KUNA) -- US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on all parties in Egypt to exercise restraint in the wake of the protests being witnessed in that country. Clinton told reporters following a meeting she held with her Spanish counterpart Trinidad Jimenez that Egypt "like many countries in the region, has been experiencing demonstrations, we know that they've occurred not only in Cairo but around the country." She affirmed that "we're monitoring that very closely." She added "we support the fundamental rights of expression and assembly for all people." "We urge that all parties exercise restraint and refrain from violence," Clinton stressed. "Our assessment is that the Egyptian government is stable and is looking for ways to respond to the legitimate needs and interests of the Egyptian people," the US top diplomat said.

Is this the beginning of the end for Mubarak? Will we witness his 30 year dictatorship coming to an end now???
I hope more people will make it to the streets and protest. Police can't do anything against millions of Egyptians. Their voices need to be heard!!!!!!!!!!
It's a damn shame that El Baradei decided to leave the country in this very important time and is not actively supporting his own people.

"The police cannot kill us because we, for all practical purposes, are already dead," said the father of four, clutching Egypt's red, white and black flag.
The pashas (police officers) are not going to relinquish power until they beat half their counytrymen to death. Habeeb Adly is by far the most disgusting person on the face of the earth, worse than Mubarak.

"Egypt has banned street protests, one day after thousands of people joined a "day of revolt" against the government of President Hosni Mubarak. Public gatherings, protests and marches are all now prohibited, the country's official news agency reports. Anyone joining in unauthorised action will be detained and prosecuted, the interior ministry said."
Ha, how they want to arrest millions of people?!!!!
Egyptians get on the streets, your future is in your own hands now!! This might be the only chance for a CHANGE you will get!!!!!!!!
